Uses For The Coffee Filter

The Coffee Filter

I have received this email which I think warrants being passed on. Here are fourteen good uses for that package of one hundred coffee filters you get at the Dollar Store.

***

1.) Cover bowls and dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make wonderful covers.

2.) Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3.) Protect china. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.

4.) Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5.) Protect a cast iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6.) Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint free coffee filter.

7.) Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8.) Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9.) Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10.) Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11.) Prevent a popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12.) Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

13.) Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, french fries, chicken fingers, etc. on them. Soaks out all the grease.

14.) Keep in the bathroom. They make great razor nick fixers.

15. They are great to use in you coffee makers!
